Message-ID: <970220195214_-837973245@emout06.mail.aol.com>

A friend at work laid a shoebox full of crystals on my desk yesterday. They
are quite large, and have the following information on them:
Crystal Holder FT-171-B
Xtal Freq 3nnn KC
in BC610
US ARMY Signal Corps

where 3nnn is the actual frequency of the crystal. Many of these are usable
ham band frequencies, and many are in the 2nnn mHz range. Judging by the
sheer quantity, they must be quite common. My question is, are they suitable
for a glowbug rig use? If yes, with what, if any qualifications or
limitations. What are their operating characteristics / requirements, etc.
etc?
TIA for any info.
Tom, NoBS
